The owners of this 1930s English-cottage-style home in Canterbury had spent many years abroad and were used to high-density living in Asia. They were not after a lot of extra space, 'just enough' for their family of three and an improved connection to their backyard. But with numerous challenges including the sloping site which left the house and garden disconnected, a tight building envelope dictated by heritage controls and an ambitious brief, it would be a matter of a design response which prioritized better use of space rather than simply adding more.

About the
Professional

Inbetween Architecture specialises in residential architecture. Our portfolio extends to renovations, extensions, refurbishments and new builds and our hands-on approach involves working closely with clients to develop bespoke designs that satisfy brief and respect budget.

Inspired by Debussy's musings about music being the space between the notes, our approach to architecture is to focus on the experience of the spaces we create, between the walls, floors and ceilings. We strive to design calm and accessible spaces which provide sanctuary from today's busy lifestyles. Our architecture is beautiful to look at but also, and more importantly, it is a joy to inhabit; to live inbetween.
